Yellowstone National Park is on Fire

Yellowstone National Park is on fire - I lay the blame with one I knew. Young girl who dwelt among the sequoia, trailing flames through the redwood trees she flew. Yellowstone National Park is on fire - smoke fills the dream of the grizzly bear, sleeping through the still of an arctic winter, sleeping through the chill of another year. Yellowstone, white as a bone.

Yellowstone National Park is on fire - an eagle flies with a blackened wing. The flames fly high but he flies higher, up where his lonely heart is free to sing . Yellowstone National Park is on fire - no matter how far or wide you roam, you can’t hide from the feeling you deny, and love is gonna have to take you home. Yellowstone, white as a bone.
